1. Thank you all [1]
Thank you so much to everyone who sent us good wishes. It has been a dreadfully sad few days. The funeral was this afternoon. There were two services, one in the house before we left and the main one in the church which is about four miles away. The hearse stopped at the end of the lane of the home place for a minute or two. Jim would have liked that. It was a very big funeral with a couple of hundred mourners at least. The church was full. Then tea in the church hall. Very welcome on a chilly December day
2. Re: [Scot] A Genealogist's Carol. [1]
Dave, You are absolutely incorrigible. There's a big word for you, so early in the morning. I liked this one, "if ass holes were aeroplanes this place would be an airport." At tea-time last night I had a phone call from Muff. She is safely in Scotland and so far so good. She didn't sound the way I thought she would, but very nice. I am really looking forward to meeting her at New Year. Jeepers we go to Dunoon a week on Thursday!! God, I don't even have all my Christmas presents wrapped yet. I will have to
3. Jim's in the hospital [1]
I request prayers for Jim - he went to the doctor this afternoon because his leg was very painful and swollen. They put him in the hospital immediately - with a blood clot from ankle to top of thigh in one of the deep veins. They're giving him blood thinners and hope it will dissolve without throwing any clots that might lodge in lungs or somewhere else scary. Sue Missouri
4. Re: Sad Time [1]
Dear Joyce - OY, that's terrible!!!! When you get back online, I know you will have lots of hugs waiting from all of us, and so will Sam and Susan and her family as well. It seems especially sad when someone has such a huge stroke, from which he may or may not recover, while heading into a joyous family holiday. Then suddenly all the lights and cheer and happiness just don't seem to fit into one's picture. I send you all comfort and support, hope and sympathy. May whatever happens now happen fo
5. Re: [Scot] "Joyce Day", Dec. 31, 2004 [1]
To Muff, Joyce et al: We are all going to be with you guys in spirit tomorrow and hope you will all have a great night. That's 4 p.m. our time tomorrow you will be "hooching" it up - will there be any Eightsome Reels so you can "hooch" to your heart's content? Joyce - maybe show Muff how to "Strip the Willow" if there's any of those too? Maybe they don't do these dances nowadays! Have a great time anyway and a very Happy New Year to you all and everyone else on the List also. Here's Tae Us - Wha's li

8. Jim update [1]
Muff, glad to hear from you in Scotland - I hope your trip is going without a glitch - sounds like you had a good schedule for it. Jim's better (but his computer's been out of commission for more than a week -- got hijacked by one of those hacker programs that takes over everything, starts messing up things on his computer, sends stuff out, mines information - bad stuff - and we thought we had good up-to-date protection, but this is something that can get past anything). He had a follow-up today with his d

11. Re: [Scot] Wanna see a Haggis? [1]
Ginger - the picture changes from time to time, watch it for a while. Occasionally a frame will show up with little round dark objects in the street. I assume these are put there by the web site as opposed to being really "in" the scene. It was easiest to see them in the Glasgow street scene (#4 I think), as the street was clear - one time there were about a half dozen or more in a group - other times just 1 or 2.

12. Re: [Scot] Worse thing ever called [1]
People didn't usually call me names to my face. But about 30 years ago, I was driving the pickup truck in a hilly hayfield while Jim tossed little square bales into the back. He'd been walking along from bale to bale and I had no idea he was climbing up on the truck bed to rearrange the stack. I had stopped headed up a steep hill with a standard shift truck, so in juggling the brake, clutch and gas pedal with just 2 feet, the truck started off with a jerk...or maybe I should say "without" a jerk... I heard
13. Re: [Scot] The Da Vinci Code [1]
Dave, I have seen all the Harry POtter Films and read all of the books. I think it's a fabulous series. Being a writer myself, I appreciate all the details about it. I had no idea it was filmed in Scotland though, so that makes it enjoyable. I just watched Harry Potter 3, the Escape from Azkaban or whatever it's called.

14. Re: Gaelic Dialects and countdown [1]
I'm chuckling about this - my funny image of the week was of my "proposed CD," to come out in time to top the holiday sales charts next November. I live in a country where particularly young folks listen to a lot of English - in classes, on TV, in films, in music videos and on CDs, and once they are older than 11 or 12 most are very competent in the language, which - except for its strange habits of spelling/pronunciation - is a lot easier to learn than Icelandic. So lots of kids and professionals

Enjoy!!! Scottish Humour Quite a Catch Davie had a bad day fishing on the river Tweed and had not caught a thing. Since he had boasted to his wife that he would bring a fish home for the evening meal, he went into the local fishmonger and asked him to throw a salmon to him "So I can say that I caught it". But the fishmonger asked if Davie wouldn't rather have a couple of trout. When Davie asked "Why?" the fishmonger replied "Well, when your wife came in earlier this afternoon she said that's what sh
